Nazara Technologies Acquires Gaming Publisher Curve Games For INR 247 Crores

Nazara Technologies Limited, India’s only publicly listed gaming company, announced the acquisition of 100% ownership in Curve Digital Entertainment Ltd (“Curve Games”), a highly reputed UK-based publisher of PC and console games for ₹247 crores (GBP 21.7 Million).

This strategic move strengthens Nazara’s presence in gaming, unlocking access to platforms, genres, and geographies in the $100 Bn+ global PC and console gaming market. The acquisition is consistent with Nazara’s established business strategy of building a diverse portfolio of businesses through targeted acquisitions across interactive gaming and sports media.

Curve Games brings a robust publishing track record, with globally recognised titles that have collectively seen over 100 million downloads. Its presence spans key gaming markets including North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.

In calendar year 2024, Curve generated ₹263.5 crores (GBP 24.4 million) in revenue, EBITDA of ₹114.4 crores (~GBP 10.6 Million) and PBT of  ₹49.6 crores (~GBP 4.6 Million).

Strategic Fit with Nazara Technologies

The acquisition aligns with Nazara’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its global publishing capabilities and follows a series of similar strategic transactions executed over the years. It reaffirms Nazara’s commitment to long-term, value-driven growth through the gaming lifecycle. Curve’s publishing capabilities in the PC and Console space and its diverse portfolio will accelerate Nazara’s global ambitions and enable cross-platform IP development with long-term value creation.

Commenting on the acquisition, Nitish Mittersain, CEO of Nazara Technologies, said, “Curve’s proven expertise in PC and Console publishing makes them an ideal partner as we expand our focus beyond mobile into high-quality, cross-platform gaming. This acquisition deepens our capabilities, brings exceptional IP into our fold, and strengthens our mission in building Nazara as a global gaming powerhouse from India. Curve will also serve as a gateway to the world for Indian game developers.”

It also became the first listed gaming company to achieve a ₹10,000 Crore market capitalisation. With all of this in the rearview, Nazara Technologies seems to be gearing up for some exciting times in the gaming and real-money gaming industry.
